When I’m gone
Don’t hate me if I’m gone,Just know that I tried my best. Don’t hate me if I’m gone,Because it’s time for me to take a rest. Don’t hate me if I’m gone,As there were no purposeful possibilities. Don’t hate me if I’m gone,As I have been there to the best of my abilities. Don’t hate…
Tum sab jaanti ho
Tum to sab jaanti thi,poocho apne dil se. Itne saal jise god mein khilaya,sine se laga ke duniya se bachaya. Uski har dhadkan se waqif thi,maathe ki chunwat ko bhi pehchnati thi.

A good-for-nothing average guy
It’s the pandemic of over communication that has led to an absence of self-belief. I still remember the last few weeks of my graduating year. I was called upon the stage and was awarded the “Best All-Rounder (Cultural)” award. It made it more special it was conveyed to me by one of my professors that…
